ADVER 9ITY.
BY REV. LEE FAIRCHILD1.

The following sermon va d livered b,
the Rev. Lee Fairchild at the Unive,
versalist church, on Sunday evening
Sept. 4. At our request, We have been
furnished the same for publication;
Tsxr :-"In the world you shall have trib-
ulation."
We are accustomed to look upou adver
sity as mans foe; as something from,
which We should be entirely free. How
often We wish that our paths We strewn
with thorn'ess flowers; or that We mig h,
drift on tide serene to rest at last on n
peaceful shore. But since man is wha,
hs is, nothing could be so fatal to him a.
to be free from adversely. He is crude,
imperfect and undeveloped. And now
is it not true, that whatsoever shall make
man less crude or less imperfect, is u
blessing? Again it follows that whatsoev
er aids in mans development is eth r
directly or indirectly mans blessing
And now if you will think on you own
experience, you will doubtless find tina,

flowers and strength for the grass. From
the distant mountain half-hd in the
gloom, gushes the gursling waters; and
from the souls mountains of sorrow shall
burst the fountains of joy. AS surely as
night takes on her many stars. so surely
shall sorrow have her JOYS. Place the
undeveloped man amid environments that
shall allow him to exist with little effort
on bis own part, and he will remain un-
Developed. Give him place to sleep,
all he wishes to eat and Drink, and he
will live and die as an animal, rather than
the man into which be might have been
developed. Protect us from the thuu
derbolt, our God, but do not withhold the
storm! 1t is an unfortunate thing, gen
orally speaking, to inherit wealth;
land yet We would all be unfortuna.e), for
that wealth too often shields one from
adverse circumstances which would have

Another Old Defender Gone.

Some of our younger readers may
not know the origin of the term Old
Defender. In the war of 1925
which the British waged against the
United States, the city of Baltimore
was threatened by the British army
and a combined attack was made by
sea and land. The militia and vol
unters of Maryland were called out
enmass to defend the city. The bat.
tie Of North Point was fought, and
on the fall of General Ross the British
commander of the land forces. and
the repulse of an attack by the fleet,
on Fl. McHenry, the English forces
abandoned the enterprise on that
city. The Maryland soldiers who
were engaged in the battle of North
Point, formed themselves into an
association some time after the war
was over, which association met an.
nually in the city of Baltimore,
on the 18th Of September. the ami
yersary of the battle. and held re

three on the day of the last anniver-
sary. Another of the Old Defenders
has gone 10 his rest since the last
anniversary of the memorable battle,
in the person of George w. Ford of
this county. The Elkton correspon.
dent Of the american gives the fol.
lowing sketch of the old soldier:
The funeral of George w. Ford,
one of the Old Defenders, was held
on Wednesday last (l2th of October)
from his residence, on the North East
river, about two miles below North
East. The remains were taken to
Greenmount Cemetery, Baltimore,
for interment. Mr.. Ford was in the
ninety.second year of his age. He
was the youngest son of John Ford.

known as "FOrd's Mansion" 1t is

At this place formerly was the old
ferry where persons from the north
ern part of Cecil county crossed to
Court House Point. 1t was there also
that Lord Howe's army landed in the
Revolutionary War. George W
Ford was in Baltimore, and took part
in the defense of the city from the
attack of the British in September,
1914, and was in Fort McHenry on
the night of the bombardment MIR.
Ford was engaged in business in Bal
timore for several years, until he
purchased the property on which he
ended his long life. He had not been
able to meet the Society of Old De-
Tenders for several years. Mr.. Ford,
when young man, was clerk fo- the
Elk Forge Company, then under the
management of Samuel Hayes. He
left son, Mr.. George Ford, who re.
sides in Elk Neck, and an unmarried
daughter living in Wilmington.

Our Washington Letter.

From Our Regular Correspondent.
Washington Oct. IS, 1887.
Even thus early active preparations are
in progress for the long session of Congress
which will meet on the first Monday of
December. Many Congressman from the
neighboring States can be almost daily
seen on the thoroughfares of the Federal
City. seeking out their winter quarters, and
looking after the immediate wants of their
constituents. 1t is the general opinion of
well posted politicians that the Flftieth
Congress will be a busy and stormy body,
as much important legislation will be con-
sidered, especially in regard to the surplus
the tariff, and pensions seven of the latter
bills already being in course Of incubation,
to say nothing of projected legislation on
the labor and railroad questions. And
then, each of the great parties believes that
it is possible to practically decide the next
Presidential election by its course next
winter.
The report of the Commissioner of the
General Land Office is of special interest on
account of the wide spread and far reach
ing frauds that have been uncovered in the
acquisition of the public lands by soulless
syndicates and RECKLESS adventures. 1t is
shown that within the past two and half
years more than thirty-one million acres of
land have been reclaimed by the Govern
ment, that about five Thousand land entries
were secured by means of perjury: and that
many Their disreputable and Irregular
methods were employed by these swindlers
